Our CCW Training approach

Concord CCW Training

2A Firearms Academy is honored to be among the limited number of firearm training providers officially approved by the Concord Police Department to deliver CCW training for new applicants and renewals. If you're pursuing your Concord concealed carry permit, our certified instructors provide the trusted, PD-authorized instruction required to meet all training requirements.

The Concord CCW course is designed to meet the training requirement set by the Concord Police Department for individuals seeking their concealed carry permit. This course gives students the essential mindset, marksmanship fundamentals, and legal understanding needed for responsible concealed carry.

The following topics will be covered in the CCW class, but this is not a comprehensive list as we do our best to tailor the class topics to the needs of the given audience participants.

  • Laws concerning firearms possession, storage, etc.
  • Firearm safety rules
  • Fundamentals of shooting
  • Loading and unloading procedures
  • Clearing stoppages
  • Firearm and holster selection
  • Firearms qualification course

Please note: This is not a beginner-level course. Students should already be comfortable operating their firearm. If you need basic firearms instruction, we can schedule a separate beginner session prior to this training.
